        The NetBSD Project should operate a Kerberos Realm for the
        administration of its own servers.

        The NetBSD Project should operate a Kerberos Realm to make
        it easy for an interested party to make a test system easily
        available to our developers without having to have a copy
        of our /etc/master.passwd file (or rsync it all the time!).

        We have a general problem gaining access to test systems
        for all the ports we support; we've tried central build/test
        labs, but they don't seem to stay with us all that long,
        or have the widest range of hardware.

        We should take advantage of the size and distributed nature
        of the Internet: publish guidelines for how to make a test
        system available to us (e.g. Internet access and, if possible,
        console access; also suggest an isolated network segment
        to avoid questions of sniffing), and provide the necessary
        mechanisms such that individuals with hardware and network
        access can make their machines accessible to the developers
        in our Kerberos Realm?

        The NetBSD Project should operate a Kerberos Realm to make
        sure the code really works (eat our own dog food).
